Judged by the standards of his own times, not ours, Akbar was a remarkable ruler. As for the Inquisition, well, yes, it was dreadful. I don't think most Catholics would recommend that it come back into operation in our own times.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7110122507987898787.post-16320371038777546172011-10-23T19:24:20.040+05:302011-10-23T19:24:20.040+05:30No, Marina, I didn't author the section on Wik...No, Marina, I didn't author the section on Wikipedia, I merely copied and pasted it in the comments section of your blog.<br /><br />I am a keen student of History, who is only now learning the "Real History" of India, as our History Text-books did not tell us the truth in school.<br /><br />The successive Congress Governments of India have unfortunately "white-washed" the History of India, so that the terrible atrocities committed upon the Hindus, during the 1500 years of Islamic invasions against India, is not even taught to us Indians, by our school History text-books.<br /><br />Similarly, the terrible atrocities committed by the Catholic Portuguese against the native Hindus of Goa, India have also been conveniently brushed under the carpet by the Congress Government of India.<br /><br />Read up about the "Goa Inquisition". The atrocities committed by the Portuguese in Goa make Hitler look like an amateur school-boy.<br /><br />The Pope has not yet apologized to the Hindus of India for the terrible Crimes against Humanity committed by the Catholic Portuguese against the Hindus of Goa India, during the 500-year-long illegal invasion and occupation of Goa, India.<br /><br />Kay.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7110122507987898787.post-7471845026147616472011-10-23T15:18:15.138+05:302011-10-23T15:18:15.138+05:30Hello and thank you for your comment.

Delving deep into issues can be revealing and sometimes controversial and goes against the establsihed perception so thank you for bringing this to my attention.

Most of his commanders advised Akbar to retreat to Kabul which would serve better as a strong-hold. However, Bairam Khan, Akbar's guardian and chief strategist, insisted on fighting Hemu in an effort to gain control of Delhi.<br />On 5 November 1556, the Mughal army met Hem Chandra's army at the historic battle field of Panipat. Bairam Khan exhorted his army in a speech with religious overtones and ordered them into battle. Akbar and Bairam Khan stayed in the rear, eight miles from the battle ground, while Hemu led his army himself into battle, atop an elephant. He was on the cusp of victory, when he was wounded in the eye by an arrow, and collapsed unconscious. This led to confusion amongst the soldiers, with no supreme commander to coordinate decisions.<br />Unconscious and at death's door, Hemu was captured by Shah Qulin Khan and carried to the Mughal camp for execution. He was first struck by Akbar himself, so that Akbar could earn the title of "Ghazi" (holy warrior). He was then beheaded by Bairam Khan.[36] His head was sent to Kabul, where it was hanged outside the Delhi Darwaza, while his body was placed in a gibbet outside Purana Quila in Delhi.<br />After Hemu's death, a massacre of Hemu's followers was ordered by Bairam Khan. Thousands were beheaded and towers of skulls built with their heads, to instil terror among the Hindus. At least one painting of such minarets is displayed in the "Panipat Wars Museum" at Panipat in Haryana. These towers were still in existence about 60 years later as described by Peter Mundy, a British traveler who visited India during the time of Jahangir.<br /><br />On another occasion, Akbar was traveling away from his capital. On his return, he learned that one of his own Mughal relatives had secretly visited Akbar's harem, during Akbar's absence.<br /><br />Akbar immediately had the Hindu guard of his harem tortured to death.<br /><br />Akbar carried out the Genocide of 30,000 Hindu civilians of the Rajput kingdom of Chittor, after defeating Chittor in battle.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
